After a pause, he continued: "Before you came here, we went to see Professor Deligne, and he spoke very highly of your paper. And he and Witten have verified it, and there is nothing wrong with it.

question."

On the side, Chen Zhengping interjected: "How are you preparing for tomorrow's report meeting?"

Xu Chuan: "I'm sure I'm prepared. I've thought about everything I can think of, but I just don't know what questions others will ask tomorrow."

Nodding, Chen Zhengping took out a thin stack of roll paper from his pocket and came over.

"These are some thoughts of some domestic mathematics professors after studying your proof paper. They contain ideas and suggestions, which may be able to bring you some help."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, quickly took the roll of paper, opened it and started reading.

He really didn't expect that Chen Zhengping would bring him such a gift. There is no doubt that it is quite precious.

Rong Zhizhuan said from the side: "You have to thank Academician Zhang Weiping for this. He took the lead in holding a small seminar in China and invited some top mathematics professors at home and abroad to help discuss it."

Xu Chuan was stunned again, looked at Zhang Weiping, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Zhang Weiping waved his hand and said with a smile: "With your current mathematical ability, these ideas and suggestions are nothing to you."

.......

The three of them did not stay in the dormitory for long. After saying hello and giving them a gift, they left without even drinking hot tea.

After all, tomorrow the report meeting on the proof of Hodge's conjecture will begin, and everyone knows how busy Xu Chuan will be.

The next day, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The Alexandria Auditorium at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton was packed with people.

In addition to the scholars invited to participate in this academic report, there are also many private mathematicians and students who came with their tutors.

In particular, mathematicians and mathematics students from China accounted for nearly one-fifth of the entire seminar, and most of them were students who came with their instructors to see the world.

There were so many people attending the lecture that the Alexandria Auditorium, which could accommodate more than 500 people, could no longer hold any seats. Many people who did not get a seat could only sit or stand in the corridor.

】

Standing behind the scenes of the auditorium, Xu Chuan sat steadily on a wooden chair with a smile on his face.

The calm demeanor made the staff on the side a little curious, and asked with a smile: "You don't seem nervous at all."

Xu Chuan joked: "That's because you didn't see how fast my heart was beating."

The staff member smiled and said: "This is different. I have worked here for many years and have met many outstanding young people. No matter who they are, they almost have to resort to various means before going on stage to give a report.

Suppress your excited emotions."

"Even Schultz relied on constant deep breathing to regulate his emotions at the beginning, let alone a proof report of such a major conjecture."

After a pause, the staff member looked Xu Chuan up and down, and then said: "You look much calmer. I don't see much nervousness in you."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "It's not more difficult to give a report on stage than to prove a mathematical conjecture, is it?"

Hearing this, the staff member also laughed and opened his mouth. When he was about to say something, another young staff member trotted in.

"Mr. Xu Chuan, it's already 1:55, and the preparations outside have been made. Do you need to prepare anything else here?"

Xu Chuan stood up and said, "Thank you, I'm ready."

After that, he walked towards the stage outside.
